It may happen (during the first action) that a third row locks simultaneously with the second row. When either a player crosses his fourth penalty box, or two dice (two color-rows) are removed from the game, the game ends immediately.

The cross on the lock counts as one of the total crosses in that color row.

These players must also have previously crossed out at least five numbers in that row.

When a row is locked during the first action, other players may also cross out the extreme right number and lock the same color-row at the same time.

Example: Player crosses out the green 2 and after it, the lock symbol. Remove the die corresponding to the color. The color-row is now locked for all players and numbers in this color cannot be crossed out. (No penalties for non-active players if they choose not to cross out a number.) Locking a RowĬross out at least five numbers in the color-row prior to crossing out the number at the extreme right end (red 12, yellow 12, green 2, blue 2).Ĭross out the number on the extreme right, as well as the lock symbol directly next to it. Penalties are worth -5 points at the end of the game. The active player can then (but is not required to) add one of the white dice together with any one of the colored dice and cross out the number corresponding to this sum in the die-row corresponding to the color of the selected die.Īctive player adds white 4 and blue 6 and crosses out 10 in the blue color row.Īfter the two actions, the active player must cross out one of the penalty boxes if he didn’t cross out at least one number. We now carry out the following two actions in order, one after the other.

The first player to roll a 6 becomes the active player. Tip: Draw a horizontal line through the numbers that you skipped, so that you don’t accidentally cross them out later You can only cross out the 10 in the blue row. Only the numbers to the right of the 6 can be crossed out in the green row. Only the 11 and 12 can still be crossed out in the yellow row.

Later in the game, the red 2, 3, 4 and 6 may not be crossed out.

We crossed out the 5 and the 7 first in the red row.

There is no need to start at the leftmost number, but if you skip any numbers, they cannot be crossed out later.

A Qwixx game has one basic rule, which is that each of the four color rows must have numbers crossed out from left to right.

The goal is to cross out as many numbers from each color-row as possible while avoiding penalties. Quick guide on how to play Codenames What is the goal?
